Howdy all, wife and I just bought our retirement property in South Central Iowa. I found that property values in this depressed area are dirt cheap. Over the past eight years while the wife and I have been looking for that perfect place, I've found that a lot of wealthy people from out of state have been coming in and paying outrageous prices per acre driving the prices out of the average persons range. Land that a few years ago would have gone for $1800 per acre are now being listed (and sold) for $5000 to $8000 per acre. All because the world record white tail was (illegally) taken 30 miles from here. I hope the next world record white tail is taken somewhere a long way away! Now that I feel better, I'll get off my soapbox and apologize for taking up your time.

Here is the property....
